he ran through the full schedule twice and no other media has posted it yet. Not on twitter or anything that I can tell. I think its cause all the beat writers are jumping all over this Eli presser.
Let me guess...

thats correct. He also had which games were sunday night but I missed it. Said 5 primetime games I believe?
Opening in Dallas kind of works in our favor.....

we usually come out of the gates healthy and on fire. Hopefully, we can grab another road victory against our toughest divisional rival and get off to a good start. We then get them in our house later on.
Looks like a balanced schedule if true

Too bad there are no back to back West Coast games. Finish the season with your divisional rivals at home.

Jinxy cat, jinxy cat where arrrre you?

And other than LAST year, when before that have we opened the year healthy?

FWIW, I dont mind opening in Dallas. I tend to agree, lets get that one out of the way. But its the lack of thought that goes into making the schedule that is frustrating.
3 straight years in Dallas

Gotta give it to the other Jerry

He takes his beatings and asks for more
Happy holidays?

I don't think it's right to risk ruining Christmas and Thanksgiving. Poor show by the scheduling team to have one team play on the two biggest national holidays that occur during the football season. Poor show.

A road divisional game is absolutely the best way to start the schedule. If you lose you have 15 games to make up for it. If you win you've given a division opponent the worst possible start to their season.

I hope we start in Dallas every season.



Because variety is the spice of life.


Variety is overrated. For pure viewing quality the divisional games are worth three or four non-divisional games. I'm not getting psyched for a game in Oakland, or hosting KC.
Oakland is one of the best

young teams in football. Giants-Raiders isn't the same as Giants-division foe, but on paper at least, it should be one hell of a game. Especially if they complete the deal for Lynch.

They're actually built pretty similar to Dallas with a massive OL and a ball control offense. But they have a much better QB and Mack on defense.

I guess the Giants are playing New Year's Eve too. At least the players get paid but this is pretty brutal for the fans and their families.

Isn't the whole league playing on christmas eve or christmas? (Except that week's thursday game). I'd rather not have the Giants play on thanksgiving too, but the league isn't exactly doubling up on us with the christmas eve game.
Dallas is the closest stadium to me so I go every year

And this is another year I'll be missing out on opening day. Damn it.

The entire league except for Thursday and Monday night game play on Christmas Eve.

The everyone plays on New Years Eve, since it's the last week of the season no Mon/Thu games.

So the Giant fans are getting "screwed" only on T-Day. Big whoop.

Fucking hate them two, saw on twitter banks was coming on i put their show on caught banks just in time Evan asked him about the giants skins match up thanksgiving and not even 10 seconds later joe interrupts banks and says the one good thing about the jets not being good is they won't get many prime time games, then he's asking banks jet stuff,, banks doesn't work for the fucking jets asshole. That would be like micheal Kay asking Marty Lyons about the giants, can't stand them it's always about the mets and jets so sick of it, they have to get their two teams into everything.

It would, although obviously we'll only have that slot if we're in contention for a playoff spot. Better to be locked in and have a less meaningful game, but I'd certainly rather be playing for the playoffs on new years eve, than running out the clock on a disappointing season on new years eve afternoon.
What a shock...
